How children get a place in Low
English schools in Quebec
A certificate of eligibility opens the English public schools; most children qualify for French-language schools only.
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Low’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
